Zero-Trust Data Sanitization
Watch PrivacyScrubber's local engine transform sensitive Security data instantly in your browser, without any API calls.
Global enterprises use DeepL and Google Translate to translate foreign legal contracts, medical case studies, and customer support tickets across borders. PrivacyScrubber's Translation Extension intercepts translation inputs, masking PII in local RAM before text reaches cloud translation engines.
Cross-Border Translation PII & Entity Tokenization
Masks names, addresses, ID numbers, and commercial deal terms in <2ms before cross-border translation API transmission.
Navigating International Data Transfer Restrictions
Under GDPR Chapter V, sending European citizen personal data to non-EEA cloud translation servers requires strict transfer mechanisms. PrivacyScrubber tokenizes customer names into [NAME_1] and addresses into [ADDRESS_1] inside the DeepL input box. The translation engine translates the structured tokens safely, and our extension restores the original names locally in the translated output.
